B980F02E-EAT Defrost Switch When the "Defrost" button is pressed, the " " mode will be automatically selected and the air will be dischargedthrough the windshield defroster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventila- tor. To assist in defrosting, the airconditioning will operate if ambient tem- perature is higher than 38.3°F (3.5°C) and automatically turns off if the ambi-ent temperature drops below 38.3°F (3.5°C).

NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting.The selector lever can be shifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, accelerate gradually. The transaxle will automati-cally shift to the second, third and overdrive gears.
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a conven-tional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. At night, with the first posi- tion of the multi-function switch, theappropriate symbol on the shift pattern indicator will be illuminated according to the range selected.
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position whilst the vehicle is moving. AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
YC090A1-E Selector Positions o P (Park): With the selector in this position, no drive is transmitted from the engine and the transaxle output and therefore the front wheels locked. The engine may bestarted with the selector in this position.
!CAUTION:
The selector must NEVER be shifted to the "P" position whilst the vehicle is in motion, otherwise serioustransaxle damage will result. DC110C1-E o R (Reverse): With the selector in this position, re- verse gear will be engaged. The enginemay not be started with the selector in this position.
!
CAUTION:
The selector must NEVER be shifted to the "R" position whilst the vehicle is in motion.
DC110D1-E o N (Neutral): With the selector in this position, no gear is selected and no drive is trans- mitted from the engine. The engine maybe started with the selector in this position.
! CAUTION:
Do not coast with the selector at the "N" position.

SC130A1-E Overdrive Switch The overdrive switch prevents the transaxle upshifting higher than third gear when the switch is turned "OFF".The transaxle will start from rest in first gear and upshift to second and third gear depending upon the roadspeedand throttle opening but will not upshift to fourth gear. When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transaxle will startfrom rest in first gear and will upshift, depending upon roadspeed and throttle opening to second, third and fourthgear. Therefore, when the overdrive switch is turned "OFF", the transaxle performs as a three speed unit and theoverdrive warning light located in the instrument cluster will be illuminated. HFC3023-D
When the overdrive switch is turned "ON", the transaxle functions as a fullyautomatic four speed unit with the maxi- mum fuel economy potential of the vehicle being realized. FC120D3-E General Operating Instructions
o The button in the selector handle
must be depressed before the selec- tor can be moved.
o The engine may only be started when the selector is at position "P" or "N".
o Ensure that the footbrake is firmly
applied when shifting from "P" or "N" to "D", "2", "L" or "R" and vice versa.
o Always engage the parking brake
when the vehicle is unattended, neveruse the "P" position in place of the parking brake.
o Under normal circumstances, the se- lector should be placed in the "D"position and the transaxle allowed to select the most ideal ratio for thecircumstances. In this position maxi- mum fuel economy will be achieved. o When descending steep gradients
where engine braking is required, the selector should be placed at the "2" or "L" position depending upon the vehicle speed.
o When ascending steep gradients using large throttle openings, thetransaxle may repeatedly changebetween two adjacent ratios. This is a normal characteristic and may be prevented by cancelling the over-drive facility if the shifting occurs between third and fourth ratios, se- lecting position "2" if the shiftingoccurs between third and second ratios or selecting position "1" if the shifting occurs between first andsecond ratios.
o Never move the selector to or from
the "P" or "N" position with the accel-erator depressed.
o Ensure that the overdrive switch is at
the "ON" position for maximumeconomy.
o If rapid acceleration is required, fully
depress the accelerator pedal. Inthis condition, the kickdown mecha- nism will be operated and the transaxle will automatically down-shift according to the vehicle speed.

(Diesel engine)
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as described in the illustra-tion if the fuel supply is exhausted during travel, when the fuel filter is replaced, or if the vehicle is not usedfor a long time.
1. Remove the air cap with pushing the button.

The power steering fluid level should
be checked daily. SG230B1-E
POWER STEERING HOSES
Power steering hoses should be
checked for damage, deterioration and leakage at each service. To check the power steering fluid level,
be sure the ignition is "OFF", thencheck to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir.
NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in ex-tremely cold condition (below -4°F). If the noise stops dur- ing warm up, there is no abnormalfunction in the system. This is due to a power steering fluid character- istic in extremely cold conditions. FLUID RECOMMENDATION
Only automatic transmission fluid
meeting the specification of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system.
